FORUM Membership
Membership of the FORUM is held on a personal basis and is available to Directors of fire research organizations (principally those holding national status) which are undertaking major research in support of fire safety.
Specifically, FORUM members are expected to:
be prominent figures in the strategic direction and management of fire safety research;
be personally responsible for setting research priorities and allocating significant resources for fire safety research;
lead organizations with broad charters for fire safety research;
be prepared and willing for their organizations to commit resources to international programs of research, and to make input to international bodies concerned with international developments in fire safety (e.g., ISO, CIB, etc.);
participate personally in the meetings and activities of the FORUM (or when unable to attend, send on their behalf, a suitable representative).
The FORUM welcomes applications from Directors of fire research organizations for membership providing that the criteria above can be supported fully. However, applicants should note that any membership appointment granted by the FORUM will be made on a personal basis and cannot be delegated to other staff of their respective organization for attendance at meetings.
Additionally, the FORUM welcomes contact with Heads of all organizations involved in fire safety research for correspondent status where the criteria above may not be fully met.
